Shocking Twist: Jon Rahm Reportedly Ready to Return $400M to Ditch LIV Golf for PGA Tour Comeback!

Spain’s Jon Rahm is reportedly having second thoughts over his nine-figure deal to leave the PGA Tour for the upstart, Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit in 2023.

‘I am 100 percent positive that if Jon could give the money back to the Saudis and come back to the tour, he couldn’t write the check fast enough,’ an unnamed ‘veteran tour insider’ told Golf Digest’s Jaime Diaz.

‘Now there are only four times a year when he’s playing that anybody is remotely interested,’ the insider continued. ‘He thought his stature in the game was secure no matter where he was playing, and it was a bad miscalculation.’

Rahm held on to win the LIV Golf event in England last month, extending his streak to eight consecutive years of winning somewhere around the world since his first full year as a pro.

Trouble is, not many noticed.

LIV Golf United Kingdom was said to be a sellout and had one of its larger galleries of the year. But the breakaway league still doesn’t have a network television deal and coverage has been minimal compared with the PGA Tour.

Rahm was one of the bigger stories because it had been since April 2023 since his last win at the Masters.

He tied for seventh in the British Open last month, a bright moment in what otherwise was a dark year in the majors for Rahm. He narrowly made the cut at the Masters. He missed the cut in the PGA Championship. He had a foot infection knock him out of the U.S. Open.

And then he showed some life at Royal Troon before ending 15 months without a win.

Rahm now has to wait 237 days until he tees it up against all the best players in April at Augusta National.
